dwm - dynamic window manager

-> dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

Requirements

-> In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.

Installation

-> Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
-> Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):

 make clean install 

Running dwm

-> Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

 exec dwm 

-> In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm 

-> (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

 while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
    do
        sleep 1
    done &
    exec dwm 

Configuration

-> The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
